* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Following [=eBaum's=] stealing of one of their site pictures, YTMND users managed to unite Website/FourChan, Website/SomethingAwful, Website/Newgrounds, Website/TheClockCrew, Website/{{FARK}} and several other websites. They then raided the living hell out of the place for a couple of days. DisproportionateRetribution? Exceedingly. Awesome? '''''Hell yes'''''. It isn't that they trolled the hell out of a site that's awesome; it's the fact that they organized a raid of that magnitude and ''[[EnemyMine united several rival websites]]'' to do it.

* MemeticPsychopath: UsefulNotes/McDonalds' Mac Tonight mascot, originally created to promote the restaurant's extended operating hours, became the [[http://wiki.ytmnd.com/Moon_Man Moon Man]] in the hands of [=YTMNDers=], a violent, racist criminal who bragged about raping women and committing hate crimes while spewing bigoted remarks, possibly because his head looked like a UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan hood. Once AT&T became aware of the fad in 2009, typing "moon man" into their text-to-speech generator started turning up an error message.

** The Mac Tonight character used on the Moon Man fad was originally used to promote extended operating hours at UsefulNotes/McDonalds, only for it to be further co-opted in the 2010s by the alt-right and other hate groups--the Anti-Defamation League added the character to their list of hate symbols.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:
** Mac Tonight, an originally harmless advertising mascot who was turned into the evil Moon Man.
** [[http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vebFZ4HzXEM/hqdefault.jpg Doc Louis and Little Mac training]] in the NES version of ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' became Little Mac pursuing Doc the bike thief with "Nigga stole my bike!" To the point that the 2009 Wii remake [[AscendedMeme added a scene stating that the bike did belong to Mac]].
** [[{{Series/Seinfeld}} Cosmo Kramer]] is often characterized primarily by his actor's racist outburst, so he is commonly portrayed as a hot-headed racist prone to shouting the N-word at the slightest provocation.
** [[{{Franchise/StarWars}} Darth Vader]] is also primarily characterized on the site by his infamous [[BigNo NOOOOO!]] at the end of Film/RevengeOfTheSith, so rather than a badass, intimidating villain, he more commonly appears as a man who is [[MemeticLoser constantly failing]] [[ButtMonkey at things]], even to the [[TheWoobie point of sympathy]].
** Similarly, [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Captain Kirk]] is portrayed as being obsessed with [[Film/StarTrekTheWrathOfKhan Khan]] to the point where he [[TheScapegoat blames him for every bad thing that happens]] and [[SayMyName yells at him constantly]].
** Dr. Billy V. Koen, in reality a kind but slightly eccentric engineering professor, is often characterized as a [[TheDreaded sinister, threatening, or even supernatural villain]].
** Former New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin, due to his bizarre and racially insensitive 'Chocolate City' speech, is often shown as [[LiteralMinded actually obsessed with chocolate, as in the food]].
** In canon, [[Franchise/HarryPotter Severus Snape]] killed Dumbledore [[spoiler: as part of [[ThanatosGambit Dumbledore's own plan]] to help the former infiltrate the Death Eaters.]] On YTMND, Snape kills Dumbledore (or other random people) [[AxCrazy just because]].

* FanNickname: Faggy Short Films for [=YTMNDs=] consisting of an animated gif that is meant to be synched up with the sound file that is playing. The name comes from the user inkdrinker, who did not like any [=YTMNDs=] that did not follow the [[http://picturesoundtext.ytmnd.com/ fundamentals]] of making a YTMND. Even people who enjoyed (and made) that type of YTMND began using the nickname eventually.
Added DiffLines:
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The peak of [=YTMND=]'s popularity was in the mid-'00s, so most of the pages made for it would have been made around then. Any that are still online today can come across as time capsules containing '00s memes and pop-culture references. Even Max acknowledged this in 2016, saying that he didn't have much interest in it beyond "good memories". Max is still looking out for the site though, partly restoring its functions after the site database suffered a fatal crash in May 2019, and has since been working on creating a proper archive version of the site so that future generations might explore the old content.
